Xavier Menifield rushed for 240 yards on 16 carries and scored on a 50-yard touchdown run to open the second half to lead Sierra Canyon in a 42-7 Alpha League victory against Brentwood at Granada Hills.

The Trailblazers (9-0, 5-0) won their area-best 24th consecutive game.

Valencia opened a 10-point lead in the second quarter before Hart scored on Davis Koppenhaver’s 1-yard reception with four seconds left to cut the lead to 17-14 at intermission.

Hart opened with an 18-play, 80-yard scoring driving, gobbling 9 minutes, 26 seconds as Connor Wingenroth capped the series with a 1-yard touchdown run.

Brady White completed four passes for 22 yards on the drive including a 10-yard strike to Chase White and a 12-yard completion to Trent Irwin.

Valencia answered with Cole Murphy’s 22-yard field goal, as Valencia drove from its own 20 to the Hart 4 before settling for three points. Sean Murphy completed passes of 27 and 28 yards to Jay Jay Wilson, followed by a 17-yard pass to Taylor Sibek.

White was intercepted on each of Hart’s next two possession. Michael Carter got the first one, followed by Murphy’s 33-yard pass to Wilson to set up Stone Jackson’s 1-yard touchdown run to give Valencia a 10-7 lead.

Anthony Costleigh stepped in front of another White pass, returning it to the 25. Murphy threw a bouncing lateral to lineman Jake Solley, who carried 22 yards to the 3, and Jackson scored on a 3-yard run to make it 17-7.

Hart took advantage of a roughing-the-punter penalty that extended another long drive, this one 80 yards in 17 plays culminating in Koppenhaver’s touchdown catch. White has seven completions for 44 yards on the drive.

In the first half, Murphy, coming off 473-yard, six-touchdown the previous week, completed 6 of 8 for 112 yards.

Valencia has taken advantage of its second interception against Hart, as Anthony Costleigh stepped in front of a Brady White pass, and the Vikings soon cashed in on Stone Jackson’s 3-yard touchdown run, his second rushing touchdown of the game.
